Divenire (in English "to become") is a collaboration of Piano and Orchestra generated by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi. Released in 2006, the album also includes his critically acclaimed track "Primavera". Shortly after its release, Einaudi went on tour to various places in the UK, playing both the music on Divenire and orchestral arrangements of his most famous works to promote the album. It was recorded by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler with the composer, Ludovico Einaudi, at the piano Master.
A special edition with three bonus tracks has been released.
Ludovico Einaudi OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [ludoˈviːko eiˈnaudi]) (born 23 November 1955 in Turin, Piedmont) is an Italian pianist and composer.
Einaudi was born in Turin, Italy. His mother played to him on the piano as a child. He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, gaining a diploma in composition in 1982. That same year, he studied with Luciano Berio and gained a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival.
After studying at the Conservatory in Milan, and subsequently with Berio, he spent several years composing in traditional forms. In the mid-1980s he began to search for a more personal expression in a series of works for dance and multimedia, and later for piano. His music is ambient, meditative and often introspective, drawing on minimalism, world music, and contemporary pop. He has made a significant impact in the film world, with four international awards to his name.[citation needed]
His father, Giulio Einaudi, was a publisher, and his grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of Italy between 1948 and 1955. He currently resides on a vineyard in the Italian region of Piedmont.

Says I’m a worthless bum
You know they call me a worthless bum
You know I had my share of chums
But I’m a worthless bum, says I
You might be thinkin’ of Davinare
You might be thinkin’ of things that scare
Whatever you’re thinking, I don’t care
To be stripped bare
Worthless bum says I
I never deny a precious gift
You know I probably stole all my riffs
But I’m a worthless bum, says I
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
Every move you make
You know if things get outta hand
You know I’m the one who understands
Without or with you I’m just doin’, doin’ fine
You know I probably stole all my poetry
Even they took the most of it from me
But I will go on through the infinite
Believin’ the lie
Worthless bum says I
You know who that I hear is pretty good
Understand, I’m a worthless bum
Worthless bum says I
You know I never tried to rip you off
Never tried to take your life
Worthless bum says I
If you were me
And I was you
Then everything’s alright
We’re outta sight
Worthless bum
Worthless bum
